Chapter 2- Mugged in the Morning…
It was a hard night's work for her, so she thought she'd stop by a convenience store to puff out a few cigarettes. As soon as she bought a few sticks, she noticed there were three guys pointing and staring at her. It made her feel uncomfortable since she was still wearing that revealing outfit she used in the bar. These guys slowly approached her and said, "Hey, babe. Mind if we asked you a favor?"
She tried to stay away, but they ganged up on her and blocked her way. "Please," she said, "Let me go."
"Entertain us, and we'll set you free." One of them said, "It's not that hard to do, really!"
Ino was scared. It's been years since she last lived as a ninja and so she forgot all about scrolls, fighting and jutsus. She was helpless. But she really needed to defend herself, so she punched one of the guys in the face.
"You're gonna pay for what you just did, girlie!" he said. Then, he slowly reached out his hand to pull down Ino's top, until a familiar voice spoke out…
"Hey, you thugs, I don't think three against one is a fair enough match. Three big guys like you clobbering-up a helpless pretty girl? I don't think so…"
"And just who do you think you are, eh, smart guy? …HUH!"
Then, from the shadows, there stood two men. One of them had blonde hair and a teasing smirk, while the other one had dark hair and had a serious look on his face, holding up an umbrella. Their hair went with the wind's strong blow. Leaves flew about as the three men stared at them in fear.
"So…" the blonde one said, "Recognize me now?"
The thugs' leader gulped and replied, "Ho… Hokage-sama! We didn't mean to-
"Shut up." said the dark-haired guy, "Look at you three. You're all cowards. How pathetic."
"Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto-sama!"
Ino stared at the two, amazed and muttered, "Naruto and Sasuke? The two of them together? No way!"
Just as the three men tried to run, Sasuke got hold of them and said, "Hokage-sama, please allow me to have these men arrested for harassing a young woman."
Naruto smiled and blushed. "Thanks, Sasuke! You're a guy!" Then, he turned to face Ino and asked, "Have they done anything to you?"
"N-no. They only asked me to strip for them. But then, I didn't want to, so-
"What is your name?"
"My name… Is Yamanaka Ino."
Naruto and Sasuke gasped in shock. "YOU'RE INO! NO WAY!" Then, they began choking. The three thugs ran and escaped. "Aw, darn. They got away!" Sasuke said. "No need to follow them." Naruto said, "We'll get 'em next time…" Then, they turned again to face Ino…
"AWWWW, NUTS!" Then, they began choking once again.
"Bleaugh!"
"Hokage-sama! Are you alright?"
"Sasuke! Get your wife! I think I might get sick…"
"Yes, sir!"
